Actually, it's way less than 200MB, closer to 125 than 200.
The minimum recommended probably has more to do with the fact that installs of other software (libraries, MUI, etc.) into SYS: on the same HD partition raise this amount to the point where 200MB becomes a safer recommendation for use, as opposed to a statement about the actual space the OS requires.

Yes i know PPC programs tend to be pretty big and you're right there's a lot of applications with the OS i didn't think of, like USB and TCP/IP stack and more.

And it's not that harddisks are expensive now a days anyway.

I wish i would have kept one of my PPC cards, sold almost all of my Amiga equipment 2000, when i bought a PC.

ELF is the file format used to store PPC executables, and it's not as compact as amiga hunks (used in 68K Amiga programs and libraries).


To correct this "ELF is a monster" myth, ELF does not take more space than Amiga hunks. There are more headers but increase is merely noticeable.
